Vanessa is the founder and joint owner of Synkd Design. She assumes the role of Creative and Managing Director. Vanessa accumulated over 14 years of experience in the design industry before establishing Synkd in May of 2010.

You’ll also get strategic thinking, consideration of customer psychology and clever ‘call to actions’ that ensures your ‘design’ does more than just ‘make the first best impression’. Synkd is all about delivering design that engages, attracts and helps your business to grow. Design that encourages meaningful customer action. That’s what she means when she says ‘design that’s ‘in sync’ with your ‘ideal customer’!.

Molly is a long haired wiry Jack Russell. She’s 6 years old. Her favourite toy is currently an old sock. She is always eager to greet our clients & studio visitors with probably a little bit too much enthusiasm. She enjoys going for walks around the block and barking at the guy who delivers the post.
Curious fact: Tell Molly to ‘go home’ and she’ll find her way there!
Style: You’ll find Molly loud, energetic and always ready to play with her ball. Tip: don’t throw her ball. She’ll bring it back. Again and again and again and again…
Superhero: Gromit from ‘Wallace & Gromit’ fame.
Business Quest: To find someone to throw toy balls for her. All. day. long.
Personal Quest: Eat, sleep and play ball all day.
Ellie the Westie:Ellie is a West Highland Terrier. Like Molly, she’s 6 years old. Born on the day before Halloween, she’s mastered the ability to frighten her owners as displayed by her great Houdini skills (she’s escaped three times so far). Ellie is enjoying a trial separation from Molly.
Curious fact: ‘Westies’ are notorious for being extremely curious dogs, but they have no road sense whatsoever.
Style: Ellie is soft, loyal & protective, but with a stubborn streak to suit (think R2D2 of Star Wars fame). Molly found out the hard way.
Superhero: The ‘My Dog’ dog.
Business Quest: Getting the best sleeping spot in the studio (usually under our feet) or planning her next escape.
Personal Quest: To find out what’s on the other side of the neighbours fence.
